1997 MONDAY NIGHT RAW HISTORY

This section looks at WWF Monday Night Raw for 1997. This looks at all of the participants and matches for the 5th year of WWF’s flagship show. These sections are exactly the same as the current section of the site, with the Wrestlers Section, followed by the Matches Section, and then the Gimmick & Title Match Section. If a wrestler had multiple gimmicks, he is listed by the last gimmick used. Show Numbers are listed in order. The show was preempted a few times for various reasons, including on February 10, 1997. On February 10, Raw was preempted, but aired on Thursday, February 13, as Thursday Raw Thursday. Since the show was still called Raw and had the Raw graphics & is part of the Raw Section on the Network, it will be counted as a Raw here. As of August 4, 1997, Raw moved from 7:57 ET to 8:57 ET.
